DEVILDRIVER LYRICS

1. Testimony Of Truth

East of the ancient sun
Beyond the valley of the corpses
I'll be waiting for you
Where all loss of hope is
No remorse
I spit on your corpse
Nothing left to do
But put my boot on you
I've got no remorse
Across the void
I shout your name
Not taken in vain
You took in vain
Through the millions of miles
The dead empty space
Through the vastness of the naked
Desert to bury your name

Sometimes it feels so lonely
Like the wind it blows right through me!

The truth is I never liked you this
Testimony is one of truth you're just
A means to an end
With no redeeming thing about you
Walk in my shoes
This dead empty space
Walk in my shoes
This burdens on you!

The day has eyes
The nights has ears
It seen my fears
You're gonna be the death of me
It's all downhill
Downhill from here I felt so shot,
So shot I lost my mind
Born of trouble into the breach
Empty promises

There just out of reach
East of the ancient sun
Beyond the valley of the corpses
I'll be waiting for you
Where there is no hope!

The truth is I never liked you
This testimony is one of truth
You're just a means to an end
With no redeeming thing about you
I bury the burden I bury the burden this burdens on you,
This dead empty space!

The truth is I never liked you
This testimony is one of truth
You're just a means to an end
With no redeeming thing about you
I bury the burden I bury the burden this burdens on you!
This burdens on you!
You live in dead empty space!

2. Bad Deeds

It's ok
It'll all be fine
Just get your shit
Leave it all behind
Those faded doors
Just never mind
It's a waste of time
Way out of line
Media machine burned out
Turned out
Turn about the whereabouts
Like a heavy
Gonna lay it out
Listen
To the knockout!
Torture tactics
Drastic
Fucking plastic
So dramatic.
Tragic
Automatic
Overactive
Your antics
Just scratched it!

You deserve the noose!
You're a bad person
Bad deeds
Bad karma
Bad seed
Stay away from me
What will happen to the broken?
To the lonely
To the lost
To the forgotten
You're a bad person
Bad deeds
Bad karma
Bad seed
Stay away from me
What will happen to the broken?
To tire lonely
To the lost
To the forgotten
BAD SEED!
It's not ok
It'll never be fine
You got your shit
Left a stench behind
Those doors are closed
So never mind
You're a waste of time
Way out of line!
Media machine burn cut
Turned out
Turn about the whereabouts
Like a heavy
Gonna lay it out
Listen
To the knockout
Torture tactics
Drastic
Fucking plastic
So dramatic
Tragic
Automatic
Overactive
Your antics
Just scratched it!

You're a bad person
Bad deeds
Bad karma
Bad seed
Stay away from me
What will happen to the broken?
To the lonely
To the lost
To the forgotten
You're a bad person
Bad deeds
Bad karma
Bad seed
Stay away from me
To the lonely
To the lost
To the forgotten

Go against the grain
The challenges of change
The dying out will have their way
So damn few are here to stay!

Get lost
To find yourself!

You're a bad person
Bad deeds
Bad karma
Bad seed
Stay away from me
What will happen to the broken?
To the lonely
To the lost
To the forgotten

You're a bad person
Bad deeds
Bad karma
Bad seed
Stay away from me
What will happen to the broken?
To the lonely
To the lost
To the forgotten
BAD SEED!

3. My Night Sky

Desperate in your sadness
So wear black cloth, burning…
Like a flame to a moth,
We flicker the heart,
And silence the sound, burning…
Put all your dreams down,
Born into bondage,
Meant to scorch the sky,
By any means
Fucking hustle through life!
I’ve realized
I’m not sorry anymore you’ve poisoned the wine
And it’s my night sky!
I was beat down by a slow drug
Over the embers and through the flood!
I’m
Built for the kill (it’s my night’s sky)
The scars
Are not visible,
Was I even here at all
Born into bondage,
Meant to scorch the sky,
By any means
Fucking hustle through life!
I’ve realized
I’m not sorry anymore you’ve poisoned the wine
And it’s my night!
I was beat down by a slow drug
Over the embers and through the flood!
I’m built for the kill (it’s my night’s sky)
Be gone
Be gone
The ground moves and shakes
Be gone
Be gone
You live with your mistakes
Be gone be gone
It’s between the
Devil and me
Be gone be gone
And forever hold your tongue!
It’s my night’s sky!
I’m built for the kill (it’s my night’s sky)

4. This Deception

This deception it cuts so deep,
And your perception
Is cloudy and weak!
To the ones departed, blame ominous skies,
Can’t you see the look in my eyes!
The sight of your face it brings me pause,
And the sound of your voice just because,
I thought you were dead,
I wished you were dead,
Gone to the sound of applause!
The promises we keep,
While all the others sleep,
Vows to the maker, now who’s nothing but a
Taker!
Life is just another sin
It’s either you want out or in,
Say your prayers to the setting sun, and go back to square one
All that glitters cannot be gold
I’ve seen your smile it feels so cold, so…
Another day another dollar
Hear these words and you’ll know who
I’m after!
The sight of your face it brings me pause,
And the sound of your voice it’s just because,
I thought you were dead,
Wished you were dead,
Gone to the sound of applause!
The promises we keep,
While all the others sleep,
Vows to the maker, now who’s nothing but a taker!
Life is just another sin
It’s either you want out or in,
Say your prayers to the setting sun, and go back to square one!
Cash your memories on the table, it’s whether you’re willing or able,
Say your prayers to the setting sun, and go back to square one!
As far as the eye can see,
Everything looks black to me,
Nothing to back it up,
Back-handed compliments just fuck things up!
I would rather die, and run you down
Then go on living
So...
BLEED
BLEED
BLEED
By example!
Life is just another sin
It’s either you want out or in,
Say your prayers to the setting sun, and go back to square one!
Cash your memories on the table, it’s whether you’re willing or able,
Say your prayers to the setting sun, and go back to square one!
Bleed
Bleed by example!
Go back to square one!

5. Above It All

From the womb to the tomb forever faded!
Took you so many years
To get jaded!
Used to hang on every word until you made it,
Told everyone you hated it?!
Used to drive by the house to see the lights on,
Breaking bottles all night so we could bond.
If I told what I knew you’d be dead
By the shit that I hold on you
I took you into my house
And let you in,
Like family,
Just like a friend!
Thought I knew you
And even more
Till I saw your face
Then I wanted no more!
I was dreaming out loud,
My head up in the clouds,
I was Faded and so proud,
Oblivious to what would come to be!
I’m just above it all
It’s where you’ll find me
I’m just above it all,
It’s where you’ll see me
I’m just above it all
It’s where your gonna find me
I’m just above it all,
That’s where you’ll find me,
So fucking faded!
Gave you everything,
Showed you the signs,
Trusted your opinion,
Together we drew lines!
Crisis of character
Turned competitor,
Even after all we’ve been through!?
I heard the rumors that you
Were going around
Running your mouth from town to town,
You aint even brought a tear,
To these eyes
So I swear its goodbye,
I’m just above it all
It’s where you’ll find me
I’m just above it all,
It’s where you’ll see me
I’m just above it all
It’s where you’re gonna find me
I’m just above it all,
That’s where you’ll find me, so fucking faded!
You …look
A little worried?
Cause you know that I know
Where the bodies are buried!
You …look a little worried!
Cause you know that I know
Where those bodies are buried!
I’m just above it all
It’s where you’ll find me
I’m just above it all,
It’s where you’ll see me
I’m just above it all
It’s where you’re gonna find me
I’m just above it all,
That’s where you’ll find me, so fucking faded!

6. Daybreak

Never relent,
Throw yourself
Never relent
Through yourself to the future!
This blood moon
Begins with a guarantee
And mercury
It ends in retrograde!
It’s just
Bleeding me dry
So don’t even try to say goodbye,
Resentment, yes
I harbor some
So don’t even try to say goodbye
This is
Not over now
I’m far from down for the count
I hear it beckoning now
I’m far from down
Come out
Full guns blazing
I’ll never forget
I may forgive tomorrow
I’ll never forget
The years of sorrow
This blood moon
Begins with a guarantee
And mercury
It ends in retrograde!
This time it ends in retrograde
I can hear it beckoning.
I’m far from down for the count
I’m far from down for the count
Come out full guns blazing
This is not over now
I’m far from down for the count
I hear it beckoning now
I‘m far from down
Come out
Full guns blazing
Hell raising!
All guns blazing!
The powers at be
The faces of god
Are a one-way mirror
As we hover above
Mangled
Tangled
A one-way mirror as we hover above!
This is not over now
I’m far from down for the count
Come out
Full guns blazing
This is not over now
I’m far from down for the count
I hear it beckoning now
Am far from down
Come out
Full guns blazing,
Hellraising!
Never relent!

7. Trust No One

There’s always a need for violence
Slowly singing to the somber sun,
Give my regards to the ones you call your angels
Dusted-
I’m the only one
I need to deaden all my feelings
When it comes to you
And should you rise again
I’ll have no choice but follow through
I need to deaden all my feelings
Should you rise again
I’ll have no choice but follow through
If threatened just know
I’ll respond in kind
Say the word
The word is blind
If threatened just know
I’ll respond in kind
Say the word the word is attack!
Say your lamentations
Set sail for Hell or damnation
No honest words on your lips
Confronted, think quick!
I’ve used it
I’ve abused it
It’s abused me
It’s confused me
And consumed me
I’ve been destroyed by trust
My heart can’t erase it
Now I’m so fucking wasted
I can taste it
I’ve been destroyed by trust
Heard you say there’s no need for violence
As you slowly sickening walk away
Give my regards to the ones you call your angels
Trusted-
I’m the only one!
I need to deaden all my feelings
When it comes to you
And should you rise again
I’ll have no choice but to follow through
I need to deaden all my feelings
Should you rise again
I’ll have no choice but follow through
If threatened just know
I’ll respond in kind
Say the word
The word is blind
If threatened just know
I’ll respond in kind
Say the word the word is attack!
Say your lamentations
Set sail for hell or damnation
No honest words on your lips
Confronted, think quick!
I’ve used it
I’ve abused it
It’s abused me
It’s confused me
And consumed me
I’ve been destroyed by trust
My heart can’t erase it
Now I’m so fucking wasted
I can taste it
I’ve been destroyed by trust
Trust no one!
My heart can’t erase it
Now I’m so fucking wasted
I can taste it
I’ve been destroyed by trust
I’ve used it
I’ve abused it
It’s abused me
It’s confused me
And consumed me
I’ve been destroyed by trust
By trust
Trust no one
Trust no one
If you apologize, will it all, just go away
In my eyes… if you apologize?!

8. Feeling Ungodly

Heading death
Feeling ungodly
Searching for the melancholy
Time will tell
What’s to come?
Tear down the sky
Worship sun
Calling out to some holy host
Exercise my holy ghost
Dream within
Dream on the doubt
Don’t ever let the dream die out
What went wrong before?
Was I hit this shit looking for loyalty
So.
Air your grievance..FUCK
Check it out
It’s a charmed life
On the chopping block
I’m gonna live until
I die
Check it out
It’s a charmed life
On the chopping block
You better live until you die
Blood was spilt
Through the words that kill
There meant for you
So bet it all
War with wolves
A war of words
Meant for you
So bet it all
Calling out to some holy host
Exercise my holy ghost
Dream within
Dream on the doubt
Don’t ever let the dream die!
What went wrong before?
Was I hit this shit looking for loyalty!
So..Air your grievance
FUCK!
Check it out
It’s a charmed life
On the chopping block
I’m gonna live until I die
Check it out
It’s your charmed life
On the chopping block
You better live until you die
Yea~
On the chopping block your charmed life so live until you die
Charmed life is on the chopping block; it’s a charmed life
I’m gonna live until I die
I got you out of my life
That was the dream,
It’s your waking reality!
I got you out of my life,
It’s your waking reality
You lose the fame!
You lose the fame!
It’s a war with words
Call it like
I see it
The stench stains my veins!
Check it out
It’s a charmed life
On the chopping block
I’m gonna live until I die
Check it out
It’s your charmed life
On the chopping block
You better live until you die
Yea~
On the chopping block your charmed life so live until you die
Charmed life is on the chopping block; it’s a charmed life
I’m gonna live until I die

9. Retribution

Your sight for sore eyes,
Cannot see!
Those close to you
Don’t know your device
They’ll compromise
They’ll pay the price
It’s you
I despise!
Just eject
Nothing more to say
Just eject
Tired of wasting days
Just eject
Old feelings
Bending reason
Lasts for seasons
Just eject!
So Say goodbye
Next time make a short hello
This Retribution is just a stones throw!
Say wave goodbye
Next time make it a short hello
This Retribution is just a stones throw away!!!
Your motivation
I cannot see,
Your hostile feelings
Gone left unchecked,
Called to an old friend that never was
So fuck these feelings!
Just eject
Nothing more to say
Just eject
Tired of wasting days
Just eject
Old feelings
Bending reason
Lasts for seasons
Just eject!
So Say goodbye
Next time make a short hello
This Retribution is just a stones throw!
Say wave goodbye
Next time make a short hello
This Retribution is just a stones throw away!!!
Sugar skulls
Decompose
Under the softest sun
It makes you feel alive
With
Lucifer by your side
Follow me without doubt
Lucifer by our side
By our side
So
Say goodbye
Next time make a short hello
This Retribution is just a stones throw!
Say wave goodbye
Next time make a short hello
This Retribution is just a stones throw away!!!!
You feel alive with
Lucifer by your side
I’ve been to
Hell and back so follow me without doubt!

10. For What It's Worth

Known to kick down doors
Settle old scores
Can’t take anymore
Do what you can’t ignore
My faith you did restore
I’ll cut this to the core
If they ask for more
They will get war!
I wake up every night
Scared
I’m born to lose this fight
Don’t cry
Dry your eyes
Hold your tears
No more fears!
For what it’s worth
I would move heaven and earth
Even kill at will
Be still this beating heart of mine!
This beating heart!
Red we had nothing
Fought for everything
This family‘s ours
It’s
Fucking everything
My faith you did restore
I’ll cut this to the core
If they ask for more
They fucking get war!
I wake up every night
Scared
I’m born to lose this fight
Don’t cry
Dry your eyes
Hold your tears
It’s
No more fears!
I wake up every night
Scared
I’m born to lose this fight
Don’t cry
Dry your eyes
Hold your tears
No more fears!
For what it’s worth
I would move heaven and earth
Even kill at will
Be still this beating heart of mine!

11. House Divided

This... house... is... divided!

This house divided against itself can never stand
It takes a new beginning to kill a bitter end
Sing another sad, sad, song for the summer time
Scream another sad, sad, summer song!

Divided this house will fall
Bad idea I know
Bet I think I will
Bad idea I know
You could never look me in the eye
And feel good about where you stand as a man
You could never stand alone given where you stand as a man

This house divided against itself can never stand
It takes a new beginning to kill a bitter end

Left me at the last
Good idea you thought
Left to hang myself
Bad idea I know
You could never look me in the eye
And feel good about where you stand as a man

This house divided against itself can never stand
It takes a new beginning to kill a bitter end
Sing another sad, sad, song for the summer time
Scream another sad, sad, summer song!

For the summer time!

This house will never stand...

You could never look me in the eye!
You could never look me in my eye!

This house divided against itself can never stand
It takes a new beginning to kill a bitter end
Sing another sad, sad, song for the summer time
Scream another sad, sad, summer song

12. Evil On Swift Wings

It boils down to
That I'm bored to tears
Bottom line is it ends right here!
Shot yourself
Cried short changed save your breath
So say what you will
Scrape the bottom
I've had my fill!
You've sold out
Sent packing
By yourself!

Entry
Into the empty
I have a tongue
Like a machete
So be ready!

I am
Evil on swift wings
That comes to punish all things
A whisper in a windstorm!

Soul's mine
'Cause you're so sick
You're sold down the river of Styx
Shot out
And shut down
Just a total let down
Blood boils
Bored to tears
Bottom line is it ends right here!

Exit
Into the empty
I have a tongue
Like a machete
So be ready!

I am
Evil on swift wings
That comes to punish all things
A whisper in a windstorm!
I am
Evil on swift wings
Echoes in the trees
Voices in the leaves
That carry!

Got swept up
God knows now
Got swept up and taken
I'm good as polished gold

For every reason
There's a season
Face up to the facts
4 by 2
I'm leaving you
Foul play
No longer fair play
It's just a reality
4 by 2
I'm leaving you
Face up to the facts
There's no last minute turning back
Figure the flag is down
And you're not
Holier than thou!

I am
Evil on swift wings
That comes to punish all things
A whisper in a windstorm!
I am
Evil on swift wings
Echoes in the trees
Voices in the leaves
That carry!

I... am EVIL!
On swift wings, on swift wings!
I am EVIL!

You better face up to the fucking facts
There's no last minute turning back
Figure this fucking flag is down
You better face the facts
Evil on swift wings
